Picquart" Gets ' Damages.
PARIS, Nov. : 20.— The civil tribunal to
day condemned' Hie newspaper Le'Jotir to
pay ; Colonel' Picquart» $6000 .damages for
libeling him ] in an article on the Dreyfus
under his arm. '. The others, nine in all,
rushed out on the pier in their bare
feet and clad only in their underclothing.
Choked and blinded by great, rolling
clouds of smoke and threatened on all
sides by falling planks and timbers, the
frightened men knew not which way to
turn.
The encroaching flames, however, quick
ly pointed out the way and plunging for
ward through the smoke they presently
reached the safety of land. ¦ With
scorched and bleeding feet the terrified
fugitives ran on. up the tracks until "they
came to a switch engine whose crew was
just finishing their labors for 'the nighL
The unfortunate men clambered on the
engine and were taken to Alameda Point,
where the alarm was sounded and wreck
ing trains organized for the rescue.
THE COOK IS LOST.
Then it was discovered that Charles Si
mon, the second cook,' was missing,
though all the rest were safe. One ¦ of
them remembered having seen Simon
stumble just as a great beam - fell and
whipped a great sheet of whirling flame.
: Simon's "stumble 1 was a lucky one for
him, and allowed the huge beam to fall
in front of him instead of on him. Seen
through the burst of flame before . him
it looked to his mate as though he was
encircled by it. '..
In dodging around this menacing dan
ger Simon lost track of his friends and
wandered off in \ another direction j over
the blistering rails and jagged rocks un
til he finally found himself, safe but
alone, in a deserted part of the yards
far to the south. Here the scorching
heat of the fire gave way . to the bitter
breath of the chill norther and poor Si
mon-was clad only in an undershirt and
drawers. Simon relates his adventure as
follows: i . ,.
1 - * .•'¦*.
/ I was never bo near frozen in my life. I
couldn't stay there, though, so I ran along the
track as best I could over the sharp stones of
the fresh ballast until I. came to a deserted
swltchhouse. -. There • wasn't a soul in sight
and nobody answered when I yelled. It was
ho dark I couldn't tell where I was, so I de
cided to go into the Switchhouse and. waU .till
daylight. Anyway, my feet were so bruised
and sore I could get no farther. Ugh! what
a rught! ' It was a barn of a place and .time
was no sign of a lire or warmth, but it was at
least a protection from the wind.
NBABLY FREEZES TO* DEATH.
I hunted all ' around In the dark, 'stumbling
over beama and pieces of machinery, but could
rot find even a rag to wrap around me. I
danced and swung my arms and' did every
thing I could think of to keep up a circulation.
I was almost ready to drop at times, I was so
tired.' but I didn't dare to stop for ; fear of
freezing to death. ¦ -• ¦
Finally, about -5 o'clock, In the morning. • I
heard the rumble of an engine and . rushed
outside just In time to stop a wrecking crew
on a switch jngme.^ They were under hurry
orders and couldn't stay to help me just. then,
but one of the men gave me a match. With
this I hurried back to ' my shelter and built a
fire of sticks and' pieces of- board. '. : By- con
stantly feeding this -I managed to keep fairly
i. The 'depot was still ,- supported .entirely
by piles, the mole extending ; only, some
fifty 5 feet beyond the Gove^iment seawall
and-not reaching the easteVn end of. the
shed's. ' * v -v.<"--,v.'>.-.-'-'- .i'.'v''"^- "V- I
. The' Alameda mole depot was I built' Irt
1883 as the terminal for the South Pacific
Coast I Railway. At that time the com
pany ..was composed of Fair, . Mackay,
Flood, O'Brien and A. B. Davis. "Hog"
Davis was ' president and had , charge of
the construction, and the depot was built
under his direction." Howard Holmes, en
gineer for the railroad, ¦ was the v architect.
The narrow . gauge road was first built
between Newark and Santa Cruz in 1875.
The, steamer Newark was built to ply be
tween Newark and San FranciscoMn 1876
tho railroad was extended to Alameda
and a ferry slip built at Alameda Point,
two arid a half miles east of the depot
just burned and on the. south shore of the
estuary.'. It is this slip, which will be
pressed into temporary, service. »
Mackay and O'Brien retired from the
company, j and a few -years later. Flood
and Davis disposed of their interests to
Fair. But this was not until the long
trestle had been constructed and j the de
pot and . ferry, slip . built >- at | its wes'terly
end. Meanwhile the, ferry-boats Garden
City, arid- Bay City had^beeji built, and
the Enclnal was nearly finished in 1887
when Fair sold the narrow gauge to the
Southern Pacific Company for $6,000,000, of
which" $5,500,000 was | paid in guaranteed 4
per cent bonds of the South Pacific Coast
Railway.-"' '"

body worked like beavers, and the steam gauge
began to~ climb slowly up as the flames ate
rapidly down the pier, and reached out toward
the boat. It was an anxious time. I can tell
you. and one that I don't want to experience
again.
' At last ,the wheels started to churn the water
slowly"; and push us inch by inch away from
that roaring furnace. The lower deck had al
ready caught fire, but the hose with whicn
wo had been washing down was still connect
ed and a stream from this kept the flames from
gaining any headway. . The lifeboats were also
scorched and the davit ropea on the forward
end were burned through. ' Even the pilot
house was charred and blackened. b»f ore we
finally gained headway and forged out into the
bay. The fire was then speedily extinguished
and we. put across to the Market street slip
without delay. .
Captain John Leale of the ; Oakland
gives a stirring recital of! his vessel's
hairbreadth escape from destruction. He
said last evening: "T/ ' : '
- The fire had spread -nearly; across the end or
the pier before we/;. discovered , it. I never
saw anything burn -so qulckiy. I gave the
alarm :¦ at once '. and j hdd .the moorings cui , to
save time, but- our r furnace fires - were down
and steam was so low . that destruction seemed
certain before we could get away. Still every-
CAPTAIN LEALE'S STORY.
The rapidly spreading fire soon burned
away the mooring lines. of the piledriver,
which drifted out into the bay, only to
be capsized by the gale. -'"-Delia Santa
realized this new danger in time to leap
into a small boat alongside and pi^sh off
just as the pontoon keeled over. He-was
carried out into the: bay by the tideand
wind and' after drifting about for an hour
or two was picked up by the bay schooner
Sycamore. : The high wind and nasty sea
prevented his landing again until - late
yesterday afternoon, when he hastened to
his home at 1236 Park .avenue, Alameda.
Delia Santa's . reappearance accounts for
the last missing man.
Another exciting adventure fell to the
lot of Victor Delia Santa, though per
haps the shadow of death did not come
so near to him. Delia Santa is a youth
of .19 years who was employed as -watch
man on a pilt driver, moored to the south
arm of the narrow'gauge pier. By, the
time ho discovered the fire on the pier
all avenues of escape in that direction
were cut off, and he. was caught between
flame and flood.
ADRIFT ON THE BAY.
Mrs, Hubert, the landlady, offered Simon
a hot drink and a good breakfast, but he
seemed dazed and refused to take any
thing but a cup of coffee. He was finally
persuaded, however, to accept a pair of
shoes, and a hat. "With these he started
off again, without speaking of his re
markable adventure.
Simon reported at the commissary head
qu*ter3 about 10 o'clock, and last night
was at work again in the galley of the
Piedmont, apparently none the worse for
wear except for a heavy cold and a fog
horn voice.
The other members of the crew who
took part in that mad race with pursuing
flames were A. J. Flood, steward; James
Lyons, chef; J. Taylor, third cook; Frank
Ahlander, 1 Harry Anthony, A. B. Whit- 1
tier, W. Egan and J. W. Chase.

around every few minutes 1 sti-.K!: something
like an average.
Shortly atter d o'clock the switching crew
came back and then one, of, the men loaned me
an overcoat, another a pair ot thin overalls
and some socks. They were not going any
further, though, so I started out to walk over
that awful rock-strewn track to Alamea.i
Point two miles away. I seemed to be tramp
ing for months, but I got there in about an
hour, I guess, and went Into the Bay View
blouse to get warm.

LIBEL CHABGE AGAINST
• DR. TAIT DISMISSED
Police Judge Cabaniss Explains the
in Law as to Inter
views.
Police Judge Cabanlss rendered a de
cision yesterday, afternoon in the case of
Dr/ Dudley Tait, charged with criminal
libel on complaint of Carl W. von
Tiedemann.- The Judge dismissed the
case on the ground that the theory in
law was that when a person talks to ¦ a
newspaper man and something is pub
lished of a" libelous nature, the perjson
quoted as giving the interview is not
liable for libel unless he had reasons to
lielleve his statements! would be pub
lished and desired them to be published.
The. court said the evidence left him very
much in doubt on that point. He thought
it 'unnecessary to decide other points
raised, including the actual words used
by Dr. Tait I ;
At the request of Von TiedemannV at
torney the Judge said that, although It
was' in evidence that Von Tiedemann. had
beeii - convicted of a felony by a jury in
Judge Wallace's court and had been .sen
tenced, yet it ttraa also shown that he had
appealed to the Supreme Court, had been
admitted to bail and the judgment of the
lower court had been reversed, which In
law; left him in .the same position he oc
cupied prior to his conviction. ¦" - .'
SAN JOSE, Nov. 20.— Miss Mildreth
Spencer, a pretty young leader in musical
and society circles, has surprised her
many friends by quietly going to San
Rafael and getting married. The groom
is Dr. P. C. Hartman, formerly a dentist
of Oakland, but now of Campbell. Miss
Spencer is a very popular young vocalist
and a graduate of King Conservatory of
Music of this city. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Dr. Hall on Mon
day, the 17th inst. The bride is the
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Spencer
of this city. : .
is probable that a larger area will be
sown to wheat than ever before. ,'
MARYSVIL.LE, Nov. 20.— Of the almond
crop of the Davisville section 310 eons of
whole nuts have so far been shipped,
leaving about thirty tons meats to fol
low. From this source $95,000 will be re
ceived. Taking the fruit crop, of this
district, of 2500 acres as a whole a revenue
of about $250,000 will be derived this sea
son, a remarkable showing. The estab
lishment of a large cannery is now under
consideration. , •

NEVADA CITY, Nov. 20.— John Heffer
man, a .woodsman " at Alder Creek mill,,
near Truckee, was killed Monday morn-
Ing. With another man he was felling
trees. One fell against another, and part-,
ly lodged, but rolled -.. off. The tree,
which was bent over by the other falling
against It, when relieved of the great
weight, swung back ' and threw an im
mense limb in the' direction of the men.
Hefferman thought it was going to strike
his partner and shouted to him to get out
of the way. The limb, however, took a
twist and struck Hefferman himself. His
collarbone was broken, his head and
chest terribly bruised and his skull frac
tuerd. He died Tuesday night.

Sad Accident.

AS HE WARNS COMRADE
The only damage reported was from
Escondido, where there was some raisins
still out, but only a small portion of the
crop on some of the big ranches. The
rainfaH for the season up to 5 o'clock this
evening was equal to the total fall for
last year up to the 24th of January.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 20.— The most
remarkable and valuable rain that has
fallen in this part of Arizona for six or
seven years is now In progress. Begin
ning at 3:30 this morning, for fifteen
hours there has been almost continuous
downpour. The precipitation has been
equaled in quantity by other rains during
that period, but of the downpour and
runaway kind. It means many thou
sands of dollars to the valley, as every
acre of land is thoroughly soaked. It is
etill drizzling and promising more.
Snow is falling in the mountains, eight
inches being reported from Prescott this
afternoon. The rain is general all over
the Territory* so far as heard from. ¦ It
has been gentle, occasioning no railroad
washout or other property loss. The
weather is colder to-night, indicating
heavy snow in the mountains. '
* WOODLAND. Nov. 20.— The strong
north wind of the past twenty-four hours
is just to the farmers' ' liking. The soil
has been too wet for cultivation, but it is
now In fine condition for plowing. The
work of seeding summer-fallowed ground
and plowing for- winter sown wheat will
now be pushed as fast as possible. It
The rail came from a direction differ
ent from the usual rains and messages
from the mountains said that the snow
came in from the east or desert side.
The fall was generous everywhere. Julian
reported 1.62 inches of rain and snow for
the storm, Descanso L50 inches, Ramona
1.25 Inches, Campo L40 inches, Escondido
1.02 inches. El Cajon 1.83 • inches, Jamul
and Otay an inch each and Sweetwater
Dam .76 of an inch. All of the places re
ported rain or snow still falling, with
every indication of keeping up until
morning. The barometer at the Weather
Bureau is going up, however, and the
prediction is for a clearing up during the
night.
The rain has done an immense amount
cf good everywhere and gives promise
of haviiig the streams running early in
the year, which means full reservoirs
and prosperity when irrigation water is
needed.
To-night the mountains around Julian,
Descanso, Alpine atd Cuyamaca are cov
ered with snow. It is still snowing there
and it is still ra'ning along the coast.
The fall last night in the city was .68 of
an inch and for this afternoon it was .17,
making with the .15, which fell yester
day, a full inch or rain up to 5 o'clock,
since which tiae a tenth or two has
fallen, making a total of 1.55 inches for
the season, an excess over the normal
rainfall for tbis section for the first time
in many months.
The snowfall on the mountains amount
ed to from Mght to ten Inches and It is
still on the ground in most places, caus
ing a drop In the temperature of many
degrees, w.th a threat of frost if the
w-eather e'ears up without wind to-mor
row morring.
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 20.— The heaviest
November rain that has fallen in San
Diego County for man; years visited this
section yesterday anl to-day. It was
an almost purely loca. rain, as the storm
center was east of the city and the
heaviest fall was in the mountains.
Special Dispatch tr The Call.
The strike will have the Inevitable re
sult of closing down the big plant and it
will probably remain closed for a year.
That is the information given out by
those who are close to the company. No
trouble has yet been had, but a disturb
ance is looked for to-morrow.
REDDING, ' Nov. 20.— Three hundred
employes In the Mountain Copper Com
pany's smelter at Keswlck went put on a
strike at G o'clock this evening and before
to-morrow night it is expected the . re
mainder of the force at the smelter and
the greater part of the miners at the
company's mine at Iron Mountain will
go out. . .-
The strike was declared by the Smelter
men's Union as a result of the refusal of
the Mountain 'Copper Company to recog
nize the union. The men do not ask for
a raise of wages nor shorter hours. They
have no fault to find with the company
on those scores. President McDonald of
th£ union says:'
"The . union wishes to be recognized.
That is absolutely necessary. That is all
we ask. It is a matter of N life and death
to the union and the action is impera
tive."
